My number one goal is to help my students accomplish their musical dreams, whether that be a classical pianist, a pop singer, the front person for a rock band, write songs or compose music for film, or just sing their favorite song of all time, whatever it takes, I will make sure that we get to the musical destination. It's important that each student progresses at their own pace. I always ask my students for one long term goal and one short term goal so that we can cast vision for where we are headed, map out the challenges along the way, but also celebrate the goals that we accomplish especially in the short term.

I am an encourager. I love to brag on students and highlight their strengths. I believe in setting goals and achieving them. For me, teaching one-on-one really helps me to help each student better. I can focus on both strengths and weaknesses and help each child or adult to become more musical. As the students practice they will soon see progress which is uplifting. Students will realize that hard work is just as important as talent when it comes to learning any instrument. Read More
